Ming of Harlem: Twenty One Storeys in the Air
Ming of Harlem: Twenty One Storeys in the Air is an only-in-New-York account of Ming, Al, and Antoine Yates, who cohabited in a high-rise social housing apartment at Drew-Hamilton complex in Harlem for several years until 2003, when news of their dwelling caused a public outcry and collective outpouring of disbelief. On the discovery that Ming was a 500-pound pound Tiger and Al a seven-foot alligator, their story took on an astonishing dimension. The film frames Yates’s recollections with a poetic study of Ming and Al, the predators’ presence combined with a text by philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, reimagining the circumstances of the wild inside, animal names, strange territories, and human-animal relations.

If I Give My Soul
In Brazil, inmates of prisons and jails are almost exclusively poor, black, uneducated males - society's lowest. In locations that have never been filmed and with stories that have never been told, this documentary examines how five Brazilian inmates have coped with this profound social stigmatization as well as Rio's brutal justice system by joining prison-based, inmate-led Pentecostal Churches. The film spotlights five prisoner's personal stories and uses social science methods to investigate if this religion is simply an "escape" for the oppressive conditions, if it's an elaborate show for the guards and justice system, or if their faith and experience represent something more.

The Pristine Coast
British Columbia's marine ecosystem has collapsed. Wild fish populations from California to Alaska have been declining since the late 1970's. Coincidentally, the open net fish farm industry began to grow fish in marine waters at the same time. Fish farms were seen as a way to offset growing pressure on wild stocks. But one woman, Alexandra Morton, noticed diseases coming from fish farms were killing wild salmon. Film maker Scott Renyard links the crash of many fish species on Canada's coast to diseases spread from fish farms and the loss in marine fish biomass has global implications.

All That Is Solid
As technological progress pushes forward in the overdeveloped world, enormous piles of obsolete computers are thrown away and recycled. Pushed out of sight and sent to the coast of West Africa these computers end up in waste grounds such as Agbogbloshie in Accra, Ghana. On arrival the e-waste is recuperated by young men, who break and burn the plastic casings in order to extract the precious metals contained within. Eventually the metals are sold, melted and reformed into new objects to be sold – it is a strange system of recycling, a kind of reverse neocolonial mining, whereby the African is searching for mineral resources in the materials of Europe. Through showing these heavy processes, the video highlights the importance of dispelling the capitalist myth of the immateriality of new technology to reveal the mineral weight with which the Cloud is grounded to its earthly origins.

Sage of the Shakyas
The name of the Buddha Shakyamuni is translated as "Sage of the Sak family." However, whether the Buddha was really a Sak, no one has proven in science so far. Based on some similarities between Buddhism and Tengrianism, as well as on the striking similarity between Buddhist culture and Saka style, Kazakh archaeologist Arman Umarkhodzhiev puts forward a theory about the blood relationship of the Shakyamuni Buddha family with the prosperous Saka tribes that lived in the same era on the territory of modern Kazakhstan. For confirmation of their theory, the researchers go on an expedition to Nepal.
